Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 14th March 2021

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 14th March 2021

 

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:                                              

1.      GP surgeries and several mental health centres reported massive drops in the number of patients being treated for anxiety, loss of appetite, depression, suicidal thoughts, and other psychological problems.  In other, unrelated, news the schools went back this week. 

2.      The Vize Town Council have been accused of wasting taxpayers’ money after it emerged that they have funded a feasibility study into the building of a bridge from the borough direct to Torquay so that citizens can visit the seaside more easily, and a tunnel that would carry traffic from the outskirts of the town direct to the Isle of Wight.  Facing criticism of both schemes, a spokes-bot for the Council defended the ideas by pointing out that they had already abandoned an earlier scheme to build a boating lake and theme park around Stonehenge, which (it had to admit) had proved not to be entirely feasible.
